“Growing up, doing beadwork was always a part of formal and informal gatherings. In keeping with my family's tradition, I will be hosting a beadwork table for the duration of the conference. I will bring beads, felt, needles, and thread so that you can start (and maybe finish!) a project of your own. You are also welcome to bring your own beadwork, sewing, or other craft. I look forward to sharing this special time with you” - Karen
